momtogeorge Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 Tom and Pat....Just wanted to add how very sorry I am for the loss of your sweet hound. Since you were referred to Davis, I am assuming you're in the greater Sacramento area. Let us know if any of the greyhound family here can help.

queenwinniesmom Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 I understand how the suddenness of a loss can double your grief. I too lost a big beautiful fawn boy too suddenly and too young. My Nick died of Addison's and cardiomyopathy just a week after we'd had a wonderful time at Grapehounds. And over 2 years later, though most days I thank God to have had him in my life, I still ask why, and wish that I could have even just one more day with him. Your sweet boy knew how very loved he was. I'm so sorry you lost your precious Bubba.

Guest gotgr8hnds Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 It's incredibly hard to lose a beloved member of your family and, as I read your story, I felt your pain. I'm so glad that Bubba found his forever home with you - a place where he was loved and cherished. And I know that he gave you much love and joy, in return. Letting go is so hard. . . . Here's a poem that was sent to me by a fellow greyhound-lover when my dogs died. It's given me a lot of comfort and I've read it many times.... --------------------------------- Susan, My deepest sympathy to you in the loss of Jack. May his spirit live forever in your heart. I pass along this poem to you in the hope that it will bring some comfort in the decision you made when you sent him to the Bridge and that it will help you when the decision has to be made for Gracie. I hope that will not be for a while. I will keep her in my prayers and you in my thoughts. Eileen Mom to Dancer, Holly,Suede and Curly (Suzanna and Polka and Nikki at the Bridge) "From Friend to Friend" by Karen Clouston You're giving me a special gift, so sorrowfully endowed, And through these last few cherished days, your courage makes me proud. But really, love is knowing when your best friend is in pain, And understanding earthly acts will only be in vain. So looking deep into your eyes, beyond into your soul, I see in you the magic that will once more make me whole. The strength that you possess is why I look to you today, To do this thing that must be done, for it's the only way. That strength is why I've followed you and chose you as my friend, And why I've loved you all these years...my partner till the end. Please understand just what this gift you're giving means to me, It gives me back the strength I've lost and all my dignity. You take a stand on my behalf, for that is what friends do, And know that what you do is right. For I believe it too. So one last time I breathe your scent and through your hand I feel, The courage that's within you to now grant me this appeal. Cut the leash that holds me here, dear friend and let me run, Once more a strong and steady dog, my pain and struggle done. And don't despair my passing, for I won't be far away, Forever here within your heart and memory I'll stay. I'll be watching over you, your ever faithful friend, And in your memories I'll run, a young dog once again. ---------------------------------- May your sweet boy, Bubba, 'kick up the wind' and run on the wings of angels~~~~~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Carla Posted March 7, 2009 Share Posted March 7, 2009 Tom and Pat, I am so sorry to hear about your sweet Bubba. I don't have any answers for you, but I want you to know that you are in my thoughts and prayers at this sad and difficult time. I hope your tears of sorrow will soon be replaced with tears of joy when all the wonderful memories of Bubba come flooding back to you. Bubba is smiling down upon you thanking you for giving him a wonderful life. Godspeed Bubba, you are greytly missed, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest snaphappy Posted March 7, 2009 Share Posted March 7, 2009 While not in the same way, I also recently lost my girl Suenos very suddenly. I am so sorry for your pain. I believe everyone here that says the pain will ease, and the smiles will return when you think of your wonderful Bubba. He was as blessed to have you, as you were him. You and Annie are definitely in our thoughts and prayers as you grieve and heal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

galgrey Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 I'm so sorry for your loss. Many of us know all too well the pain, anguish, and disbelief you are feeling. I hope you can find even a small piece of comfort in knowing you're among friends who know and understand.

And every new dog who comes into my life, gifts me with a piece of their heart. If I live long enough, all the components of my heart will be dog, and I will become as generous and loving as they are." -- Unknown Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest HersheysMom Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 Tom and Pat, I am so sorry for the sudden loss of your beautiful boy. I wish I had answers for you as to why these things happen to our beautiful, innocent companions. I do know that you obviously loved Bubba a great deal and gave him a loving caring home while he was here - and that's the best we as pet owners can do - love them with all of our hearts while they are here - and the most a dog can hope for. Bubba was a lucky dog indeed to be surrounded by such love. My deepest sympathies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest DoofBert Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 The bigger they are, the harder they fall. Be assured, I understand your pain.....I lost my big guy, Sir D, quite suddenly. They leave such a big hole in our hearts. But, if you open your heart, and let your sense take over, you'll feel him with you. Sincere sympathies, Jayne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
